I get so excited about picking out the perfect gifts for people. Most of the time when I enter giveaways it's for other people - not for me. When I get a Christmas gift from my boss I spend it on things we need for the house.

I'm not saying it's wrong to buy stuff for yourself. I just don't a ton.

Daddy buys things when he wants them. When he gets any Christmas bonus from his boss (it varies every year) it's his. If I mention that we need this, or that he gets annoyed with me.

He's not materialistic. It's just if he gets a gift he's better about spending it on himself more than I am. He actually puts his money into something that will benefit his art. It's a good expense. Isaak:

Isaak said yesterday, "Mom I put the same Lego set on Grandma's list as I did on Santa's list.
What if I get the same Lego set?"

I said, "Santa knows. If that did happen
to happen we could take one back, and get something different."

Isaak said,
"Couldn't I just share with Mica by giving it to him?"

He's my unselfish
child that loves to think of others. I never answered him. I just
kissed his sweet cheek.

Mica:

Mica handed me back his tooth fairy money today and said, "Mom put this to
good use. Buy me more toys if not for Christmas, save it for my
birthday."

I handed him back the money and said, "Put it in your bank.
You get enough toys."

When I get Christmas money from relatives I always save it for something special or for when I really need something, but my husband always blows it right away on something for himself. Maybe guys are just more willing to treat themselves?
